Mayan, who supported her dad Monday at his George Lopez Celebrity Golf Classic, adds: "And to even be here today, there's some years where I couldn't go because I wasn't speaking to my dad and I didn't want to see him.

Kidney Donor Needed for 3-Year-Old Nya Martinez

Meet sweet Nya Martinez, 3-year-old twin from San Jose, California. She was born with underdeveloped kidneys and has End Stage Renal Disease, kidney failure. Nya has been hospitalized almost half of her life and she is currently on dialysis, over 10 medications, daily injections and is 100% tube fed. The waiting list for a deceased donor kidney could take years. The longer she is on dialysis, the more risk she has for serious infections and complications. Finding a living donor would mean giving Nya a second chance at life. A life without machines to keep her alive. Her best option would be to receive a kidney from a living donor. A kidney from a living donor lasts on average twice as long as one from a deceased donor. Her wonderful family is actively seeking a living donor and Nya is currently listed on the transplant waiting list at Lucile Packard Children’s hospital. Please join us in helping Nya’s family search for a living kidney donor! If interested please email FindAKidneyForNya@gmail.com or call/text 408-883-4784. 💚💙💚💙
